Turkish court banned YouTube again
Tuesday, a Turkish court has ordered the country's telecommunications authority to block access to YouTube. The authorities want YouTube to removes a sex video of a former opposition party leader.
Deniz Baykal stepped down in May as leader of the Republican People’s Party after "a video on the internet showed him in a bedroom with a female lawmaker," according to Bloomberg. This was an inevitable move after such humiliation.
Three days earlier, Turkey has lifted the ban on YouTube after 30 months. The first ban was due to a May 2008 video insulting to the country's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Turkish officials has since then restored access last October 30th after the videos were removed from YouTube.
